BOURNE — Samuel Kmiec pitched six strong innings and Richard Martin Jr had three hits as the Braves won the battle of division leaders over Harwich, 4-2, at Doran Park on Saturday evening.

Bourne improves to 7-3 with its second straight victory over the Mariners, who also are now 7-3.

Kmiec (Winthrop) allowed two runs and struck out six while scattering four hits. Brett Morales (Florida) pitched a hitless seventh and eighth innings for the Braves while John Gorman (Boston College) notched his third save with a perfect ninth.

Harwich scored both of its runs in the first inning on an RBI single by Ian Happ (Cincinnati) and a fielder's choice by Matt Gonzalez which plated the second run.

The Braves took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth on a two out single by Martin, Jr. and tacked on an insurance run on Blake Allemand's (Texas A&M) sacrifice fly in the seventh.

SOUTH YARMOUTH — The Red Sox got contributions for the top and bottom of the order en route to a win over the Kettleers at Red Wilson Field.

"We got timely hits," said Y-D manager Scott Pickler. "They out-hit us 11-8, and we got nine runs. That doesn't happen very often in this league."

Vincent Jackson (Tennessee), Y-D's No. 9 hitter, plated two-runs with a home run in the third inning, while leadoff man Andrew Stevenson (LSU) went back-to-back with Jackson with his own round tripper just five pitches later.

Jackson and Stevenson both took one for the team in a wild five-run eight inning for the Red Sox (4-6), both being hit by pitches from Mason Klotz (Southeastern Louisiana). Y-D's first run of the eighth scored on Stevenson's hit-by-pitch. The Red Sox scored another run on a wild pitch, two more on passed balls and a fifth run on a single by Hunter Cole (Georgia).

Cotuit's lone run came in on a fielder's choice from Brendan Hendriks (San Francisco). Kyle Holder (San Diego) went 3-for-3 for the Kettleers (4-6).

BREWSTER — Jordan Minch and Lance Thonvold combined on a seven-hitter and Donnie Dewees, Jr. drove in two runs as the Harbor Hawks won at Stony Brook Field.

Minch (Purdue) allowed five hits and struck out six in six innings to improve to 2-0 on the season. Thonvold (Minnesota) earned his third save, allowing two hits and fanning four over the final three frames.

Dewees, Jr. (North Florida) went 2-for-4 with a double and a triple for Hyannis (6-4). Dylan Boshers (Tennessee Tech) was also 2-for-4 with a double for the Harbor Hawks while Sam Haggerty was 1-for-3 with a double and two runs scored.

Brewster (5-5) starter Andrew Lee pitched three perfect innings before Haggerty reached on his double which bounced off the first base bag. The Whitecaps scored their lone run on a solo homer by Alabama's Mikey White (2-for-3) in the second inning.

CHATHAM — The Anglers (4-5-1) batted around in the fourth inning and put five runs on the board as they defeated the Commodores (4-5-1) at Veterans Field.

Patrick Mazeika (Stetson) started the scoring in the fourth with a leadoff home run that put the Anglers up 1-0. After Falmouth starter Brad Labozzetta (Florida Gulf Coast) got the second hitter of the inning to strike out swinging, Chatham loaded the bases. Kal Simmons (Kennesaw State) grounded into a force out at second as the second run of the inning crossed the plate.

Ty Moore (UCLA) then notched a two-run double then came around to score on a single by Chris Shaw to make it a 5-0 game.

Nick Collins (Georgetown) added on a RBI single in the seventh.

Falmouth's Cameron O'Brien (West Virginia), who finished the night 2-for-4, scored both of the Commodores' runs.
